If people want to be a doctor, you will have to make sacrifices. Social life, family time, and debt. If become a doctor, it will be rewarding. I feel like people who are talking about all this problems are people who like to safe and wait for things to happen. What happen to the stories about people saving all their money to put everything on the line to make the best of life. | ||

Whatever the foreigners decide, just know that you are doing an incredible job over there. Agreed. I thought the exchange program was already announced prior. ._. On some of the teams there will still be hard to communicate. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if the team he's talking about is Team Dignitas. | ||

GSTL with foreigner mercenaries is one of the coolest concepts we've seen from GOM, I'd love to see a few EG/Fnatic/mouz/Dignitas players in each of the Korean teams for the team league. | ||

Jinro made 2 semifinals and he's half diety... everyone even respects HUK for making it to (and staying in) Code S, even tho he has a lot of ppl that hate him. just being in Korea brings a SHITLOAD of popularity, so in terms of money it can be considered as investment. example. who ever heard for Moonglade before GSL? hes not on level to compete with best foreigners, let alone Koreans, so how do u know about him? what has he done? "top 4 EVERY single month" ?? i dont think so. think about it... | ||

You cannot attain "greatness" in korea unless you make top 4 EVERY single month. So, you're saying foreigners aren't good enough to make top 4? Then you agree with the whole argument that foreigners are scared that they can't compete with the Koreans in the GSL. Like Mr. Chae said, this is something he can't control. He can't make it so that Koreans are less good than the foreigners. Foreigners need to start practicing a lot more 10-12 hours a day to become better. They need to put more effort, so that they don't need to be scared anymore. | ||

Its a matter of getting the right people to go, not just everybody. | ||

I don't agree. It's not that simple. If you do okay in a gsl you gain so much attention by the community and reputation. You gain so much for yourself as player... I think the effort of the poster is really great and is showing the gomtv intrest and support for foreigner. I really hope that our communitys are growing together and in the end we are all sc2 fans.  Someone said, which ist quite true i think, that only the players will move who are really confident in themselves like naniwa. soo i'm just excitet for whatever may come or work. | ||

Code S, certainly, is a lot more attractive when the worst-case scenario isn't lose in the Ro32 and play solitaire in the GOM house for a month. | ||

what im saying is you just dont do that, cause u need the job. foreigners are obviously spoiled by sc2 popularity atm, so we'll just have to wait for koreans to get so much better that no sane person will want to watch bronzie level play on foreign servers if i sound angry its because im so dissapointed how unsportsmanship-like foreigners are... e-SPORTS after all. | ||

Edit: Also, the GSTL format has the teams split into two groups of equal size. Wouldn't one foreigner team unbalance the groups? Does that mean we're getting two? Or is the foreigner team the tenth team, and not HoSeo like everyone assumed? Ten games scheduled means 5 teams per group, so it's not "two teams". | ||

I'm pretty embarrassed at how those articles made the foreign scene look. All I can say is that what Gom is doing seems to be an awesome idea, and I hope Mr. Chae's post really makes some ignorant folks realize that Gom really is going above and beyond the call of duty to accomodate foreigners. | ||

I think part of problem was time you gave players to enter the super tournament it seemed like there was very little notice. With MLG deal how much time between winning the tournament and finding they got a gsl spot till next gsl? If they have arrangements already for that season could they arrange to come next season? In SC2 it seems like less prestige is put on LAN tournaments than i used to know in CS. Back in CS people got reps for being SOL(Shit On LAN) if they didn't attend LANs | ||

About cultural differences - cmon, man up. Korea is a very good place to live - it is all about individual adaptability. Learn to enjoy their food and lifestyle, which is in fact not very different from other first-world Asian cities. This is coming from an Asian guy who has lived in Surrey, Melbourne, Singapore and Japan. They're not so different - it is a great adventure, in fact, to experience both west and east. | ||

Also, the tournaments in EU/NA are growing at an astounding rate. They also are showing to be dynamic, exciting events. THe MLG/GSL exchange program is going to be a great idea,IMO. I hope that everyone in the scene can become excited about it. I feel that it rewards success in other tournaments. This is a good step for both MLG and GSL, as both tournaments have not recognized the performance of other players in the best way. An example is Thorzain. He was awesome in the TSL3, but he will have to play in the open brackets. I hope the the major tournaments can find ways to continue to be ever changing and excellent productions. Cheers to GOM and MLG. 채정원시, 수고하셨습니다 | ||

The arguments about the championship bracket at MLG being prestigious and people having to earn their way there are silly. Any top pro can roll their way in, we saw that last MLG. Inviting the koreans and then forcing them to play a ton of matches against amateurs is ludicrous, especially since in all likelihood that will be the only MLG event those specific koreans attend (maybe if one wins they will come back for the season championship). | ||
